Abstract
Managing the amount of computing resources required to execute a process for determining values of a parameter associated with an object over a lifetime of the object is disclosed here. In one example, a data structure is generated. The data structure including candidate values for the parameter that comply with constraints assigned to multiple dates occurring during the lifetime of the object. The data structure is pruned by aggregating actionable periods. A first combination of candidate values associated with the aggregated actionable periods is determined that results in the minimum amount of the object being provided to the users during the lifetime. A second combination of candidate values associated with the aggregated actionable periods is determined that satisfies a return objective. The second combination of values are usable by a remote computing device to implement a value schedule for the object.
